The European Union s humanitarian aid is intended to provide assistance, relief and protection to people in third countries that are victims of natural or man-made disasters, including complex emergencies, in order to meet the humanitarian needs resulting from these different situations. It is guided by international law and the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, neutrality and independence;
The European Union. The European Union is a Regional Economic Integration Organization. It is not bound by the 1929 Warsaw Convention,169 but it is Party to the 1999 Montreal Convention.170 Article 53 of said treaty indeed authorizes Regional Economic Integration Organizations such as the European Union to sign, ratify, accept, approve or accede to it. The European Union may therefore be considered as a ‘State Party’ to the 1999 Montreal Convention, with the exception of Articles 1(2); 3(1)(b); 5(b); 23; 24; 33; 46 and 57(b). The instru- ment of approval submitted to the ICAO by the European Community, which became the European Union from 1 December 2009, contained a declaration regarding the competence of the European Community with respect to certain matters governed by the 1999 Montreal Convention.171 The European legislator extended the scope of application of the 1999 Montreal Convention, normally limited by its Article 1 to ‘international carriage’, to flights operated inside the territory of a European Member State and set out that the liability of a Community air carrier for passengers
The European Union. The European Union (EU) is the oldest and most significant economic integration scheme, involving twenty-seven Western and Eastern European countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lat- via, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Ro- mania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. One of the most important developments is the recent EU enlargement from fif- teen to twenty-five countries in May 2004, with the admission of Cyprus, Malta, and eight East European countries. In January 0000, Xxxxxxxx and Romania also joined the EU, increasing the number to twenty-seven coun- tries. Turkey and other East European countries will be considered for admission in the coming years based on certain criteria such as stable demo- cratic institutions, free markets, and ability to assume EU treaty obligations (Van Oudenaren, 2002; Xxxxx, 2003). Even though the European economic integration dates back to the Treaty of Rome in 1957, the European Union is the outcome of the Maastricht treaty in 1992. The European Union has an aggregate population of about 456 mil- lion and a total economic output (GDP) of $12 trillion (U.S.) (2005), and in- volves the largest transfer of national sovereignty to a common institution. In certain designated areas, for example, international agreements can only be made by the European Union on behalf of member states (Wild, Wild, and Han, 2006). The pursuit of such integration was partly influenced by the need to create a lasting peace in Europe as well as to establish a stronger Europe that could compete economically against the United States and Japan (see Table 2.5). Since the countries were not large enough to compete in global markets, they had to unite in order to exploit economies of large-scale production.

The European Union. The Czech Republic will promote a self-confident, active and readable policy. In the Neighbourhood Policy and external relations, we support the further enlargement of the EU, provided that the existing admission criteria are retained. From a regional perspective, priorities are South-eastern Europe and the states of the Eastern Partnership. During discussions on the new EU fiscal period for the 2014–2020 period, we will promote keeping the EU budget at 1.0% of EU GDP. Other important objectives will be the equalization of conditions for farmers from old and new Member States and support for the development of competitiveness and efficiency in the agricultural sector. We are opposed to the covert agricultural aid of certain EU countries, whose aid and pro-export policies are damaging to Czech producers. For this fiscal period, we will promote a reduction in EU spending on the Common Agricultural Policy. For more efficient utilization of EU subsidies, we will push for a radical reduction in the number of operational programmes. In further talks on the closer coordination of economic policy, we will ensure the consistent application of the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality. The approval of national budgets must remain in the exclusive competence of the national parliaments of Member States, any penalties for violations of the Stability and Growth Pact must be applicable to all Member States without discrimination and must be enforceable. The Coalition Government of the Czech Republic will seek to continue the liberalization of services in the EU and to remove remaining barriers to the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital. We express our support of structural reforms, an improved business and investment climate, a reduced administrative burden, increased labour market flexibility and the elimination of unnecessary European regulation. In this respect, the Czech Republic will support proposals aimed at the better and more effective functioning of the internal market. The Coalition parties will press for ratification of Protocol No 30 (the Czech Exemption) in conjunction with the ratification of the next accession agreement. In case of fundamental institutional changes within the European Union requiring the amendment of primary law, the transfer of further powers from the Czech Republic to the EU will be subject to a referendum. With regard to the changes brought about by the Lisbon Treaty, the Coalition Government is committed to...
